Almerquellen in Brilon-Alme
The idyllic Mühlental valley with the alpine springs in Brilon-Alme is of a rare scenic beauty and is protected by nature. The pastures are fed by 104 spring exits, the main source consists of a Karstquellteich. The alpine springs are also with their more than 100 single rivers one of Germany's strongest and cleanest wells.
The basis for the formation of one of the largest German spring regions is the Briloner Hochfläche, which consists of mass limestone. Here one encounters the phenomenon of brook dwindling, i.e. the streams and rivers flow predominantly underground. The alpine springs lie at the northern border of the high area, at its deepest point. Therefore, the numerous watercourses come to light here and form this unique spring area.
Various circular hiking trails indicated at the parking lot lead through the source area.

Ruhrtal in the Sauerland
Brilon / Winterberg, Olsberg, Bestwig, Meschede, Arnsberg, Neheim-Hüsten, Menden, Iserlohn. - like a pearl necklace, the cities line up along the B7 and the Ruhr Valley and form the main artery in Sauerland.
The Ruhr is one of the most famous rivers in Europe as the name giver of the Ruhr area. It originates at Winterberg and from Olsberg it becomes the river from the stream. At Schwerte, the Ruhr leaves the Sauerland and then runs through the Ruhr area to Duisburg, where it flows into the Rhine.
The B7 runs from Olsberg to Menden through the Ruhr Valley and is one of the very large West-East federal roads from the Dutch border at Venlo to Chemnitz.
The Ruhrtalbahn (Hagen-Kassel), the Ruhrtal cycle path and also the A46 to Olsberg run through the Ruhrtal valley.
